A week and a half on the job, and I’m still loving my new position at NYLON designing graphics, e-newsletters, youtube skins, ads, blah blah blah. Yes, I like what I do, and yes, I do truly believe that it’s better to be happy 24 hours/day than to work your butt off half that time and make more money, but be half as happy. This works for me right now, and I encourage everyone I know (or don’t know yet – thanks for reading my blog even though we’ve never met, i love you) to find something similarly as comfortable. Imagine how much different the world would be if everyone was happy at their job.

I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s so important to love what you do since if you are like most Americans you will spend most your life at work. Which is crazy.
I came across your blog while doing a search for NYLON design internships. I am a graphic design student from Miami doing an internship at MTV in NY for the summer. I REALLY wanted to intern at NYLON but I never applied because I got into MTV. I wish I would have though!
Congrats on your job! Really cool graphics on your post above. Love your style.
Kudos.
